Tweet For Treats...And Other Whimsy

It is official, we have a 'treats for tweets' box (Debra brilliance rides eternal.) Here is the idea...any of us, glassybaby tribal members, may approach the box, conveniently placed on Marissa's desk, dash off a tweet notion on tweet scratch paper and receive a chocolatey treat. We have had a spate of recent tweet/treat offenses. Just this week, Phil, our color man, flagrantly pilfered multiple treats right in front of Marissa, Paul, Valerie and me...multiple witnessing of this reprobate behavior. Phil agreed to this mug shot:

Recently, a pod of kids, thespian, summer campers, hailing from Epiphany, our neighbor, came in to Madrona for a glassybaby tour. The age range was marvelous...from pints to quarts. We received wide eyes and total interest as the tour ensued. These kids were fully engaged in learning the glassybaby story, and learning about the process of crafting a glassybaby. Stylishly, we received a stack of Thank You letters with thoughtful text and original artwork. Here are two of our favorites. Who can resist horse art and caption bubbles that exclaim "cool" and "wow."

End note. Surveying web orders is always rich. A single order will tell a unique story...one recently caught my eye. A gentleman customer was ordering the molten gift set named "red hot love" (red rose, ferrari and lipstick.) The note attached?...so sweet: "For our new home together."
